What is the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS)?

The EPS is an NHS system that allows your GP to send prescriptions electronically to your chosen pharmacy.

Instead of collecting a paper prescription from your GP surgery, your prescription is sent securely online to us, where we can prepare your medication in advance.

This service is designed to:

  • Save time
  • Reduce paperwork
  • Improve convenience
  • Ensure prescriptions are processed efficiently

How Does EPS Work?

The process is straightforward:

1. Nominate Your Pharmacy

You choose Comber Pharmacy as your nominated pharmacy for receiving electronic prescriptions.

2. Your GP Sends Prescriptions Electronically

When your GP issues a prescription, it is transmitted securely through the NHS system directly to our pharmacy.

3. We Prepare Your Medication

Our pharmacy team will prepare your prescription in advance so it is ready for collection when you arrive.
